This film gives you the saturation without the required "Kodak underexposure". If you underexpose, even slightly, watch out... deep deep saturated colors. Which you can use to your advantage in certain circumstances. Fuji Velvia dies with underexposure. VS doesn't. It just beats you over the head with the color. Jim
